Unable to Run Applications (EXE, MSI, etc) from a UNC Location
Updated: 23 May 2007 | 2 comments
When attempting to run an application from a UNC location, a pop-up error message is displayed saying access is denied.
This happens if Internet Explorer Enhanced Security is installed and left in its default configured state, which means that it blocks executions from UNC locations.
To resolve this problem, either disable, remove or configure IE Enhanced Security so that the UNC share is added to the Intranet Security Site in IE. Adding \\machinename will allow executions from all UNC locations on that computer.

Other workaround
You can also rightclick on the executable, and then go to properties. There you can authorize it as trusted.
The install will then also run.
